Start: Reigate Station, Station Approach, Reigate RH2 0BD, served by the GWR line from Reading to Gatwick Airport via Guildford (half-hourly), and the Metrobus 420 route from Sutton station and the 460 route from Epsom Clocktower, both hourly.  Car parking is available at Reigate Station (£6.60 all day).

Start Time: Meet at 10.15 for a prompt 10.30 start, outside the main entrance to Reigate Station on Holmesdale Road (adjacent to Platform 1). We will wait for any train arriving between 10.15 and 10.30. 

Distance: Approx 10 miles linear, with 240 m of ascent.  There is a steep 130m ascent of the North Downs escarpment at Reigate Hill and three other shorter ascents.

Walk Details: This is the Reigate and Banstead Millennium Trail, part of the longer walk from Gatwick to Sutton (18 miles).  We take in Reigate Hill, Kingswood and Banstead to finish at Belmont (just over a mile south of Sutton).  Road walking through Reigate takes us to the start of the walk and thereafter the terrain is mainly downland and woodland on footpaths.

Coffee and lunch breaks: We will stop at Junction 8 café at the top of Reigate Hill and depending on the time, this could be coffee or lunch.  There are often long queues so it is advisable to bring your own food but drinks and ice creams can be purchased.  There are also toilets.  If this is a coffee stop, we will stop at a suitable spot for lunch at a later time.

Finish:  The full walk takes us to Belmont from where the 280 local bus will take you to direct to Sutton station.  You can also finish at Banstead if you need to leave a bit early and take the S1 bus to Sutton station (every 20 minutes).  You can take the 420 bus back to Reigate, where you left your car, from either Banstead or Belmont.
